When you think about Dada and the great moments in Modern Art, it's always the sense of when you're not sure that art is most likely to be occurring.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dada was an extreme protest against the physical side of painting. It was a metaphysical attitude.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
I am always rethinking how art is perceived and received, questioning our relationship to art. That's always been a constant.
Being a fan of authentic Dada, I find today's art - what I call 'Bankers' Dada' - mind-numbingly dull. The most challenging work I've seen of late is by The British Art Resistance. Their document, 'A Call for Heroes in an Age of Cowards', is apt in these days of witless chancers.
I think art, at its best, happens on a conscious and a subconscious level.
I think art comes from some sense of discomfort with the world, some sense of not quite fitting with it.
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
To stay true to your art is such a complicated journey, and Dad clearly has done it.
I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.
I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.
